Snake Jailbird

Snake Jailbird, or simply "Snake" as he is usually referred to, is Springfield's resident recidivist felon, always getting arrested but rarely appearing to stay in jail. He speaks with a "Valley Boy" accent, mixed with a hint of upper-class English that belies his criminal status (This accent makes him one of the coolest Simpsons characters). He is partial to fast cars and fast women, and has a knack for reckless abandon.

Snake has been shown to have a son, whose name is Jeremy. He appears to be raising his son to be much like himself: in the episode "Pygmoelian", he helps his son steal Lisa's bicycle, and beams with pride when his son exclaims, "Daddy, I'm stealing!" His ex-girlfriend Gloria (who is a trafic officer) briefly dated Montgomery Burns, but then came back to him.
